Community Engagement & Capacity Services

MultiLink’s community engagement and capacity services delivers a range of outputs under MultiLink’s State Government Community Action for a Multicultural Society (CAMS) program and our Commonwealth funded Settlement Engagement and Transition Services (SETS) Community Capacity Building activities.

Our focus is to better support culturally diverse groups, associations, leaders and individuals (especially from new and emerging ethno-specific communities) to increase these cohort’s capacity to solve collective problems, achieve shared aspirations, develop competencies and skills to enable them to be agents for positive change with strong ability for self-agency and self-efficacy and providing support to their own communities.

Community Engagement and Capacity support focuses on:

• The development and support of current and emerging Community Leaders
• Consultation with communities to discuss issues, needs and challenges
• Supporting communities and community leaders with organisational governance, project management, or assisting groups to becomes Incorporated Associations
• Strengthening community relationships and collaboration
• Increasing opportunity for economic and social inclusion
• Enabling communities to access and navigate the local service system and opportunities
• Identifying emerging needs and working with the community on developing appropriate responses
• Enhancing community capability and ability to seek and secure funding and other resources
